I certainly don't regret were I am at this point in my life and I believe that I have learned a great deal from being overweight. I wish, however, that I had not been such a slow learner.Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07794746954511347596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1766613753047552174.post-33655530201171539712010-04-27T06:51:20.981-07:002010-04-27T06:51:20.981-07:00Well said. I like the part about "blame"...Well said. I like the part about "blame". I posted the other day about what I hide behind and found it terribly hard to find any blame for putting on weight. I think I am struggling to see if there really is a cause and in true reality, there isn't one thing. I can pick out the times when I ate too much because I felt bad. And I am a big believer in the physical cause. I did get the fat gene. My husband's family has the fat gene. My daughter got both fat genes, although she is aware of it and works really hard to stay at a weigh of about 160 lbs. Her friends barely make the 120 mark. There is something missing in me that doesn't get turned off when I am full. And something else I've noticed-what made some people reach over 300 pounds and me reach less at around 200. I sometimes feel I shouldn't be bitching at my weight because others have so much more to lose and I look at them (and you) and am amazed at their success. <br /><br />You really are so right about how all these experiences made us the person we are today. I wouldn't want to be a different me. So now I have to remember this post (you made my memorable post list-thanks) and go back and think some more. I do find just throwing out different ideas is helpful. You have done an amazing job losing so much weight. I love your insights. We newbies gain a lot of support and guidance from those that have had such success with the band. See you really are a teacher!<br /><br />I too cannot imagine ever wearing high heels but it is something I do want to try.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02400904095865742386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1766613753047552174.post-46451050171310731322010-04-27T06:06:09.894-07:002010-04-27T06:06:09.894-07:00Loved your NSV!

Interesting because my alcohol shut-off valve works perfectly. I drink half a glass of (say) wine and I've had enough, though I enjoy it. Sometimes I might give into peer pressure and finish the glass, but if anyone tries to fill it up I tell them not to waste their time, because I'm not going to drink it. My brain says 'don't want any more' and I'm perfectly able to go along with it. So why on earth doesn't the food one work?<br />Enjoyed your post Tina. Will be interested to hear what your next plastic surgeon told you. (Do they ever tell you about possible side effects afterwards, such as adhesions?)<br />CarolineLonicerahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13141723287143567146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1766613753047552174.post-33025053140206539512010-04-27T04:38:22.376-07:002010-04-27T04:38:22.376-07:00Great weight-loss Tina!
